I actually don’t think it’s possible to write responsibly about “American freedom” as a concept without mentioning Indigenous and Black people

I don't understand devoting so much time and effort and money to hating other people. There are so many better things that could be done with those resources.
Please be kind to your trans friends today, and every day. Today because they need it: every day because we all deserve it.

Most days being homesick is me missing my family. But. Some days... it's craving a box of extra toasty cheez-its so badly I could cry.

A report that highlighted the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people was removed from several federal websites last month, to the disappointment of some Alaska Native advocates.
President Trump signed the law that mandated the report during his first term.

It's ok to take care of yourself.
It's ok to get some rest.
It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.

While many celebrate thanksgiving remember that its also the National Day of Mourning, a day to mourn the genocide of millions of Indigenous Peoples resulting from settler colonialism. Support native folks by holding space and uplifting our voices today and everyday. #NAHM

I'm Z.R Hopper and I'm an aspiring indigenous horror writer - I love how versatile horror is, both for exploring the dark and taboo, as well as using it as a lense with which to explore our own society and cultures. At the end of the day I'm just a fan of the strange and macabre #HorrorWritersChat
#HorrorWritersChat question 1:
Introduce yourself! Tell us who you are, what you write, and as 15th was "I love to write day" tell us why you love to write horror.
P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when quote posting!

When the story is done, you have just over a week to polish and submit... and your sister recommends you completely rewrite the ending 💀

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.
